About Peter

Peter Clayton began in the Jewellery industry over 40 years ago, at just 15 years old. In that time, Peter has mastered the art of designing and creating bespoke jewellery to help make your special moments forever memorable.

The Cheshire Diamonds shop is based in the historical Cheshire town of Macclesfield, where Peter has created a reputation for creating stunning and unique jewellery throughout his career. Although Peter takes pride in his traditional styles and techniques, we have recently invested in modern design technology and tooling to help us meet the latest trends and styles.

Unlike most High Street jewellers, we design and manufacture all of our pieces in-house meaning that you are buying a completely bespoke and unique piece of Fine Jewellery. We have excellent relationships with many suppliers of fine metals, precious stones, certified stones and even lab-grown diamonds ensuring peace of mind when buying one of the most important purchases of your life.

National Association of Jewellers

Cheshire Diamonds is proud to be a member of the National Association of Jewellers (NAJ) which ensures that every customer is treated fairly with complete honesty, integrity & professionalism. We also benefit from the combined buying power of the group for our raw materials, allowing us to pass on the savings to our customers – often resulting in a bespoke peice at a lower prices than on the High Street!

Our workshop and diamond boutique is located in the heart of Macclesfield, Cheshire. We are uniquely placed in our area and, over the years, have witnessed the opening and then closure of various Jewellers – both independent and national. This demonstrates the strong ties we have developed in the community and the trust we have built as the number one diamond merchant and jeweller in the Cheshire region,

Excellent, friendly service! Peter has recently made us beautiful bespoke wedding rings, he was thoughtful and attentive throughout the process, from us just popping in to browse with little idea of what we wanted, through to making decisions and discussing the specifics of engraving. He was friendly, helpful and kept us updated, and the rings were also ready quicker than other jewellers we had enquired at. We're very happy and would definitely recommend him!

I collected an eternity ring today for my wife Vikki for our 10th wedding anniversary. Vikki visited Peter at Cheshire Diamonds because we have had some beautiful wedding rings from him for our special day ten years ago. The service that Peter offers us has been nothing short of amazing. We ordered the ring just before our summer holiday and Peter kept me updated regularly about the ring and even sent me a video of the ring once it had been completed. Thank you to Peter for a very good ring buying experience yet again. Vikki is extremely happy with her eternity ring! She can’t stop looking at it!

Peter made my engagement ring for me and I couldn’t love it more. Sadly there were a few sizing issues at my end which meant he had a big repair job to do (first time in 40+ years he’s had to do that, sorry Peter). He was so lovely and friendly which made the whole experience far less stressful than it could have been! Can’t wait to go back to him for our wedding rings! Thank you 😀

I recently asked Peter to produce a wedding ring from some family gold with sentimental value. Not only was Peter an absolutely lovely guy, he had the work done in under a week for less than budgeted. I wouldn’t hesitate to return next time if this marriage doesn’t work out.

Absolutely lovely man who owns the business, he designed my engagement ring and has now customised my wedding ring to go with it. They are both Absolutely gorgeous. He was so thorough and accommodating with all my ideas and has put so much effort and detail into his work. I would highly recommend.

Thank you Peter at Cheshire Diamonds for bringing my diamond ring back to life. I am over the moon with the end result, it is like brand new. Thank you also for repairing my daughters gorgeous locket and ankle bracelet. I have a few more challenges for you, so I will be back.
